I slide down, getting covered in mud and dead leaves, hitting rocks and stumps, tumbling down into the dark. My arm gets snags on something. A fallen tree. A gnarled branch. It screeches me to a halt. When my mind catches up to my halted body. I move my arm close to my face and look at it. Beads of blood emerge like seeds sprouting in spring. They grow and burst, flowering down my arm. I follow…

    That’s a lot of ifs and I really don’t want to be around to find out. I carefully flip through the rest of the pages. Same as before; just codes and formulas. There’s one word that shows up over and over again. Norreach. For what I can make out and guess, it’s some kind of program, connected to the nuke, to the other bombs, to other cities.
